Consider carefully the consequences of getting involved with a criminal and nutcase living in a Muslim country who likely has followers in America as well. Your best bet may be to simply edit the Wikipedia page regarding your legal issues with him.

The unmitigated hatred against Canonical for trying to find a way to generate income so that they can stay in business and continue developing Ubuntu is amazing. What the hell else do you expect them to do? If they offered a way to buy a copy I'm sure we'd have an equally trollish, hate filled thread here on Slashdot.
This is because you are stupid and can't see the big picture.
Do you want every linux disto to have ads? How about paying for an ad free version of your favorite distro? Or the reputation that will follow as Linux because knows as the Ad Infested OS?
I'm going to give you some advice. This is based on history.
If you do NOT complain about the ads in Ubuntu now it's going to get worse. Way worse. This is a toe testing the water. Make the water way the fuck too cold now. If not, you will find, in probably a year, the every linux distro will have ads, and not only in small places. It will ruin linux.
You think I'm wrong? oh no, the greed of the people say this will not stop and only get worse.
This will ruin linux for ever. People will associate linux with ads. MS will say, by a Ad Free OS, not Ad Infested Linux. And worse, Linux distros will start selling Ad Free versions.
Downloaded last night (usenet ftw), played a bit. Graphics are good if you like cell shaded stuff, play seemed the same.
Seems setup on the 4 man team, which if i recall from the first game, it wasn't like that.
Seems decent if you like shooters, and if you like the first one, spend money on it.
I won't be. Not because it's a bad game, but because I spent money on Guild Wars 2 and I'm all tapped out. Plus Everquest 2 is putting out a new expansion this November, so I really have to save money for that, or quit playing EQ2.
anyways, Game is good, buy it if you have money, otherwise, do whatever, I don't care.
I'll believe it when I see time travelers from the future who have used their warp drives and FTL travel to come backward in time to tell us about it. (According to special relativity, the ability to travel faster than light is equivalent to the ability to travel backwards in time.)
You know, if I was a timer traveler, I'd have better things to do then tell people what we have in the future. Chances are they wouldn't believe you, and if they did, they'd probably try to take it from you.
My guess is it's going to be a big hit over Xmas provided Nintendo makes enough units. Most parents that have kids, that have a Wii, will most likely upgrade to a Wii-U because it's Nintendo, it's what the kids have and what they like. Is this going to convert the older PS3/360 crowd? No. It's not aimed at them. Nintendo is a family company, they always have been.
Will it be better then the new Xbox or the PS4? Probably not. But this coming Xmas, they are vaporware, the Wii-U won't be.
Me, I like my Wii, my only complain is that it doesn't do 720p or higher. Granted, I use it mostly for homebrew and emulators and the occasional pokemon game, and I really like it because it's really small and I can pack it up and take it somewhere, like to m parents when I'm visiting. But I'm probably going to wait to buy one, like I did with the Wii until it comes down in price.
And for the record, I have a Xbox 360 (jtagged, but not working currently), and I would love to have a PS3 but only for homebrew/hacking.
And I'm sure it will be around the $300 point. I think history has shown us this is the highest price you should go on consoles.
If there isn't a 9/11 movie that sells big sometime in the next 30 years, it will be forgotten by 2045. Even if there is, it will still be forgotten every decade until the remake comes along.
And we'll still have TSA giving free prostate exams long after we've forgotten why...
oddly enough, it's cheaper to fly then a doctors appointment....
Then we must be getting close to widespread civil unrest in the US, since very few Americans eat balanced meals these days. Or maybe our dependence on fast food and junk food makes us less sensitive to shortages in particular segments and more adaptable to whatever will continue to be available? We're still very wealthy, relatively, and we can sure process the hell out of crap to make it somewhat palatable.
Having been homeless and living on the streets before, I'm pretty sure most of you peeps who haven't are going to be in for a rude awakening.
...to pirate. This will make no difference in the piracy rate, but it's nice for their user base.
I doubt it, Ubisoft makes some really crappy games. I tend to pirate everything that comes out (always have, not to keep, but to check out whats going on) and I find most ubisoft games to suck badly to not be worth the download time.
I hear a bunch of stupid whiny babies bitching because they are dumb enough to buy DRM music from iTunes and now which they hadn't.
HAHAHAHA
You are the stupid person who bought music from iTunes. Not me. My music, I can move it back and forth all i want. NO DRM.
You want to be legal, yet now you are bitching about it. Who's fault is that? Yes, your own. You didn't have to buy DRM music, but you choose to, now live with the consequences. I'm living with the results of my actions. That is, DRM Free music.
And worse? You paid about the same prices you would of if you had just bought a CD instead. And yet, you can't share it, it has DRM, but the CD doesn't.

to be fair, most religious people are nutcases.
Before you do anything at all consider this web page:

So this is a chapter of Scientology?

... WHO ?!?!?
God of course. and I mean, the Jewish God that guides the actions of that country Israel.
Not really sure what that other god, Allah is up to though, probably something sneaky that involves lots of virgins.
unless they mutated away to live without water, humans did NOT move away from water.
I'm pretty sure they still lived around water. Rivers, Springs, Oases, Wells, whatever, but they needed the water.
But what do i know?
going to be smiling big time when i get my next ID.
I already pirate all my music as flac, been doing that for a few years. in fact, I've been replacing what mp3's i have with flac copies.
I just googled Pono and Pono Audio Format and I don't see shit for it.
I call bullshit on this.

as for the article, it was TL;DR
This belongs more on Hack a day, or somewhere, but nice job.

Fight fire with fire.
But in the end, the lawyers win.
Oh great, a new breed of monkey. Just what the world needed. I sure am glad that we solved all those other problems so we can care about this.
What are you complaining about? It's one more thing for you to have sex with.
Oh, and you missed this on the page? http://news.mongabay.com/2012/0802-penis-snake-amazon.html
is that lawyers are getting paid.

Technically we don't have free speech in Australia.
yes, you keep making laws to keep that from happening...
The "attourney" is a female.
And females masturbate.

Won't get excited or RTFA until I know, will it require a connection?
Yes, it requires that your computer is plugged into a power socket. If you have a laptop, it will drain the battery.
